Chaturdashi – Significance, Festivals & Rituals
What is Chaturdashi?
Chaturdashi is the 14th lunar day (tithi) in the Hindu calendar, occurring twice every month — once in the Shukla Paksha and once in the Krishna Paksha. The Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi is observed as Masik Shivaratri every month and is one of the most regularly observed tithis among Shiva devotees.
What is Maha Shivaratri?
Maha Shivaratri falls on Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi and is one of the most important festivals in Hinduism. It marks the night when Lord Shiva performed the Tandava — the cosmic dance of creation and destruction — and is observed with night-long worship, fasting, and chanting of Om Namah Shivaya across India and the world.
What is Narak Chaturdashi?
Narak Chaturdashi (Chhoti Diwali) falls on Kartik Krishna Chaturdashi, the day before Diwali. It marks the defeat of the demon Narakasura by Lord Krishna and Goddess Satyabhama. An oil bath before sunrise and lighting of diyas in the evening are the main observances on this day.
How is Masik Shivaratri (monthly Chaturdashi) observed?
Devotees observe a fast, perform Shiva abhishek with milk, water, honey, and curd, offer bilva leaves, and spend the night in prayer and chanting. The fast is broken the next morning after Shiva puja. Regular observance of Masik Shivaratri is believed to grant Lord Shiva's blessings and lead toward liberation.
